Suppliers

Gilda is an artisan bakery in rural Bishopsbourne, just outside Canterbury, proudly producing quality handmade sourdough, speciality breads, and pastries.

We believe in honest, quality ingredients, sourcing our organic flour from trusted suppliers and working alongside local and British producers to form the base of our products. As a specialist in sourdough, our bread is crafted with patience and love using time-tested techniques.

Our bakery is housed in a beautiful converted farm building, where we invite customers to experience Gilda from every angle with our open-plan kitchen and retail space. Each member of the Gilda team brings a wealth of experience to the bakery. We all share a passion for what we do, and a lot of time, care, and love goes into every product we make.

Purveyor of fine meats.

Mark and Amanda Williams have been the proud owners of Preston Family Butchers for over 10 years. Alongside assistants butcher Jack and a few hardworking apprentices, we have been serving not only the local community, but also customers as far afield as Brighton, London and even our French counterparts across the Channel.

Trained as a butcher from a young age, Mark comes from a butchering background; the trade entered the family with Mark’s great-grandfather and today he proudly continues this tradition.

Coming from a long line of butchers, Mark and Amanda have kept this dying art alive. As part of English Beef and Lamb Executive (EBLEX), they strive to provide you with some of the finest produce available.

When Jonathan Parker left his job as director of a London legal publishing business, little did he think that his new food business idea, launched in May 2007, would grow to become one of the most respected and successful suppliers of fresh produce across the South of England.

Foodari now serves a host of food services, from large corporate catering firms to some of the finest restaurants in the UK. We continue to develop and grow, supplying only very best quality sourced produce with exceptional customer service.

Today, Foodari continues to grow and evolve into a dynamic fresh produce business, leading the way in sustainable and where possible ‘local’ food supply, where quality and customer service are equalled to our long-term environmental initiatives.

Family Business

Since the early days, Foodari has always been underpinned by a love of all things local, British and fresh. Good quality food and sustainable agricultural methods are two of the values that align with our company ethos and future vision.

Since Foodari’s conception, Jonathan has not been alone in growing the business – his brother Tom, has played an integral part in Foodari’s success, bringing real farming experience with their father Chris.
With a passion for food production, coupled with years of buying expertise, the result is a senior management team that keeps driving a dynamic and thriving business.

At Gibsons Farm Shop we aim to meet the increasing demand for locally produced meat products and a large range of locally produced goods. The butchery and processing of meats are performed in store by our master butcher. By request this can be to customer requirements with meat being prepared in front of the customer. Our range of home reared meat includes Free Range Angus Aberdeen Beef, Pork and Lamb, Home Cured Ham and Bacon and BBQ Meat Packs. Gibson’s Sausages and sausage meat just have to be tried. Our sausages have extremely high meat content, and we only use natural casings.
